Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to prioritise the factors that are considered to be important when making the decision towards liking or loving a particular apparel brand, from the perspective of young consumers. The study models the problem of identifying various factors influencing brand love (BL) as a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem and applies analytic hierarchy process (AHP) as a tool to find the relative weights of the factors. Then these weights are used to evaluate three popular apparel brands amongst youngsters, namely 'ZARA', 'Hennes % Mauritz' (H%M) and 'Marks % Spencer' (M%S). The data pertaining to pairwise comparisons of various factors and sub-factors related to the study are collected from the students studying at various colleges in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) (India) using convenience sampling. The results indicate that brand experience is the most important factor for young consumers amongst all 12 factors considered in the study.
